On Monday, Dec. 8, a total of 101.5 million Internet addresses worldwide were engaged in torrent downloads of relevant titles tracked by anti-piracy firm Excipio (including movies, TV shows, music, videogames, software and other digital media). On Dec. 9, Swedish law-enforcement authorities — acting on a complaint from an anti-piracy group based in the country — descended on a Web-hosting facility used by Pirate Bay and confiscated its servers and other equipment.

The result: The total number of IP addresses engaged in peer-to-peer downloads of content tracked by Excipio dropped slightly from 99.0 million on Dec. 9 to 95.0 million and 95.6 million the following two days, before bouncing back to 100.2 million on Friday, Dec. 12. That’s roughly in line with the daily average of 99.9 million since Nov. 1, according to Excipio.

While the Pirate Bay had attracted millions of users, pirates are still pillaging Hollywood content using any one of dozens of other sites or services.

For the six days ended Dec. 11, the top five pirated moves were 20th Century Fox’s “The Maze Runner” (with 491,798 average daily piracy users per day), Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” (470,182), “Lucy” (405,258), Sony Pictures’ “Fury” (290,494) and Paramount Entertainment’s “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” (265,581), per Excipio.

The Pirate Bay, founded in Sweden in 2003, has been the target of multiple lawsuits, criminal prosecutions and police raids over the years.

Since the Swedish-hosted site of the Pirate Bay was unplugged from its website with the domain suffix .se, other sites have claimed to have picked up its mantle. But some of those are malware-laced fake sites, and others are opportunistic placeholders that do not replicate the original piracy haven.

In a blog this week by one of the piracy organization’s founders, Peter Sunde (who goes by the online pseudonym “Brokep”) wrote that the Pirate Bay had “no soul left” and that he didn’t care if the site had been shut down. “It feels good that it might have closed down forever, just a real shame the way it did that,” Sunde wrote.
